According to Newsday’s David Lennon, in a post to Twitter, Putz has been shut down for the season as he is dealing with an issue in the ulnar collateral ligament in his right forearm.

this is so ridiculous, i can’t even keep up… at this point, it would not shock me to see Mr. Met starting on the infield tomorrow

According to Brian Costa of the Star Ledger, Putz will not undergo surgery and he was shutdown as a pre-cautionary measure.
